Large talc deposit newly opened by Elisabeth adit and mined since 2008 by euroTalc s.r.o. Major minerals are magnesite, dolomite, talc, quartz and pyrite. The main crosscut as well as later exploration drives intersected a large body of specialized S-type granite with abundant hydrothermal quartz veins with fluorite, carbonates, phosphates, sulfides, Bi or Pb-Sb sulfosalts and polycrase.
